Hi

I can't get the pinky pluggo to work in ableton live 5.0.1

I'm using Mac OS x 10.4.6

The pluggo is in my 'plug-in devices' folder in Ableton. I drag it to a new channel and the pop up appears. I then find that the open file button doesn't do anything. Not sure what to do.

Please help!!

thanks

I installed a couple os x updates that I spotted today and now it's working

MP3's don't work tho. Is that right?

Also. How are you meant to get 2 decks working in Live?

The prefrences only ask for one input source. How can I tell it to use a different input for audio channel 2??

No. MP3's should definitely work with Pinky Pluggo.... that is, IF you're running on a machine with either a G4 or G5 PPC processor.

What model of Mac are you running on???

If you find an MP3 that won't play in Pinky Pluggo, just open the MP3 in

iTunes... select "Advanced ---> Convert Selection to MP3.." and iTunes will

create a fixed MP3 that should open no problem in Pinky Pluggo.

To get multiple decks working with Pinky Pluggo in Live, you'll need to create multiple instances of the Pinky Pluggo... one for each deck you intend to use. Put each instance of Pinky on a separate vertical Audio channel in Live, and select the I/O channels appropriately.

I found that the mp3's that weren't working were only 64 kbps.

128 kbps works fine.

I'll try hooking up both decks again tomorrow.

thanks for the reply
